    The problem is that the game isn't fully optimized yet, so there is no way of providing any kind of Minimum Spec, I wouldn't expect anything until mid-late beta to be honest.

    For PA it can also really depend, for example if you're playing on a server hosted else where you don't need the same kind of CPU strength because the server is doing a lot of that work, but that means your RAM and Graphics card still need to handle the rest but if you aim to play 'offline' by hosting the server on your machine you'll need that CPU capability.

    Or at least that was my understanding of it.

    RAM is the major limiting factor, and the issue with laptops is sometimes its video card, what kind of video card are you getting? 8GB should let you play in systems with 4-5 planets and id guess at least 6 players......

    i would also guess you could play an 8-10 player match if you reduce the planets a bit to 2 or 3.

    I only have 4GB right now, but my 8GB are in the mail :)
